Sandra_W

Diabetic since age 14, now 62, coming up to 50 years with Type 1. Memories of the old days with inch long thick needles and glass and chrome syringes that you had to boil after every use. Using Lines as your diet, Testing sugar levels and ketones with urine on test strips Oh how its all changed. But still no cure.

I have neuropathy, and also Peripheral Artery disease, which means the Y piece of aorta going to my legs is totally blocked, Angioplasty couldn't break through and I've now been told a bypass is history because of my age and other conditions

On top of all that, I am also stage 2 COPD, so struggle to breathe.

At least I survived my Breast cancer some 15 yrs ago!
